surface grafting

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.ST07152
Process in which a polymer surface is chemically modified by grafting or by the generation of active sites that can lead to the @I03042@ of a graft @P04740@.
Note:
Peroxidation, ozonolysis, high-energy @I03255@, and plasma etching are methods of generating active sites on a polymer surface.
